eager-loading nested polymorphic associations

Unfortunately, the models are related polymorphically, and :include can’t eager-load nested polymorphic associations. What can we do?

Use postgres!

Because in rails it automatically puts a transaction around for DDL statements and rolls them back when things don’t work. Fixing this in mysql can be a huge pain.
